FOR THE NIGHT OF THE FIREWORKS.
The sun, that us'd to chear our hearts, 
Now checks our joy, 'till he departs:
(This night we give to noise and laughter)
------He set, and twilight follows after;
Hark ! the musick strikes up ! -- 
How it spreads, how it swells !
Bomb, bomb, bomb, say the cannon
-- ding dong, say the bells.
